The Prologue
It was soon after I rode the RD350 that my interest in "2nd stroke" began to pump up. And it more or less became a desire to acquire a 2 stroker when I rode one of my friends' (Shyam) rebuilt RX135 5s. The hunt for a 2 stroker began in no time. However, the plan was dropped off a number of times because of some family issues. My father wanted only one bike to be parked downstairs. Now, I even kept forward the idea of parking the bike at Shyam's place who lives just down the road. But NO! To cut the story short, I finally got an RXZ for 11k and working upon it.
Baby Shower
But the day I got the baby home, I invited my father to take a ride. The first "rebuking" took place when he said n"no horn?". Then on several other aspect. The funniest part was when he was not able to kick start the bike and I did it for him. I still remember him saying "aaj tak kick nahi maari kisi bike me". He was right to some extent as Kinetic Honda, LML Vespa Select, HH Ambition DSS, P220 and the TVS Scooty Streak...all came with a self starter!!!
The Story Begins
Anyhow, things have settled down and the work on the bike began with minor servicing comprising of Carburetor cleaning, oil change, air filter cleaning and tuning. That gave a boost to the bike and it has started performing quite well as compared to its previous condition. The bike came with a Mikuni VM24 with a delighting imprint of "made in Japan".
The work to be done
